Super cold day produces HOT finds....

[Goes4ever]

started off the hunt this morning at 26 degrees and strong winds, man it was COLD!!! Even when we were finished at 3pm it was only 33 degrees. I was chilled to the bone, but the finds were coming and I stuck it out.

Hunted with my buddy DiggerDan today and we went knocking doors. Got permission at the very 1st place we stopped at and the first silver of the day was the Niagra Falls pin, it is marked sterling on the back. Got a few wheats, one 1936, rest are 1916-1919. Found a 1907 barber dime that was 3" deep, thought it was clad, nice surprise it wasn't!

Found something I have wanted for a long time in the backyard, a sterling thimble. I have found a lot of thimbles but this is my first one that was sterling. Got a 1899 Canadian dime and 2 injuns....1907 and 1893. Great hunt even with the cold weather!

Those finds will warm you up. Cold here too, feels like January instead of the end of March.

anyone have a canadian coin pice list? I looked on ebay and there is two varieties of the 1899 one with small 9's and one with large 9's......mine appears to have the large 9's comparing to ones on ebay....it is $120 buy it now....wonder if it is a key date?

The coins are nice but that pin is the best find. Looks reasonably early to boot.

It was 90° here today and I didn't find crap........a few bullets (modern) and a few modern shell casings, two zincolns and a few iron 'objects.' I was so anxious to hit this spot, an old watering hole for cattle being herded from south TX to Kansas City. So much of the area had been occupied since I first saw it 25 yrs. ago and it is now bulldozed, fenced and littered with beer cans and pop tops. What a waste.

I still think there must be something good out there somewhere. Had to quit because my ankle was killing me. There must have been a thousand people at the soccer complex today bringing me in a fresh supply of jewelry and clad for thsi summer and fall......they sure are nice folks!
